We are a worse people than we were 200 years ago?
Oh really? How many slaves do you own these days? How many Indians are being forcibly marched out of lands they’ve lived on for hundreds of years, and dying by the thousands along the way? (like happened 200 years ago) I’m sure you’re pining for those good old days.
My friend, *we* are the slaves nowadays.
How many Indians are being forcibly marched out of lands they’ve lived on for hundreds of years, and dying by the thousands along the way?
Enough to equal 53 million abortions? 85,000 deaths per year from alcohol? 16,000 AIDS deaths per year? All that inner city crime? I guess it depends on how you count the value of lives, and which ones you consider important.
I’m sure you’re pining for those good old days.
600,000 people died to abolish slavery, and you mock them. Like I said, you are low class.
As Keats said:
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
